If your goal is to reach one mountain peak while here, this is a good one to tackle. It's about 4 hours round trip for beginners. It's a steep incline with switchbacks. I'd recommend using hiking poles, bring some food/snacks and water. The views of Canmore and the whole Bow Valley is breathtaking. Arrive early as well, this hike can get VERY busy especially in summer.
